Take any letter from the alphabet. Go to google.com, and type in a long string of the same letter. For example: jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj​jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

and, see what the search results are. Then, erase just one single "j" and search again.

Continue, and see all the strange, bizarre, mundane, nonsensical, whimsical, ordinary results. Continue removing just one letter and search again. You get completely different results each time!!!!

Agreed. While it is amazing and remarkable that the monkey is intelligent enough to be trained, it is also sad once you begin to consider the state of the monkey.

First of all, the monkey is wearing a choke collar. The man also holds that whipping cane (likely made of bamboo) right to the monkey's face, and the monkey knows it will be beaten if it does not perform properly. That is how the animal is trained to perform tricks.

Upon further contemplation, I am sure some level of affection and love exists between trainer and animal. The man who whipped the monkey likely thousands of times throughout the training process, also depends upon the monkey in order to earn enough money to feed the monkey, as well as to feed himself.

The monkey has incredible movement, in fact, the second half of the video, I had to re-watch it, because the monkey moved so fluidly, I thought it had to be CGI.

I thought the monkey looked sad.

LOL. The irony is that I was trying to quote YOU, and messed up so all I wrote disappeared and only your original text came up with my fixed embed :P

Anyway, I tried to say: "Hahahaha that monkey you got up was priceless!" - and embed it for the others to see ;)
